Anyone know whats on the dealer list for the 60k service. I went to a local import shop and they told me thats what they used. I figured I could do most of the work myself like changing the plugs and flushing alot of the fluids.

So here is my list of what should be done, there is more here then most shops will do but if you want to get the most from your truck with the least amount of break downs, this is the way to go.
This is the parts list for a 60,000 mile service the way I do it.
1 Oil filter , K&N 3001
1 Air filter
1 Transmission filter kit
6 Qts of engine oil
12 Qts of ATF
7 Qts of 80/90W gear oil
2 Qts of Brake fluid
2 Qts of synthetic Power steering fluid
2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive
1 Bottle of Lucas Transmission additive
1 Can of Spray Carb Spray
1 Can Of Brake cleaner
8 Spark Plugs, I use Bosch Platium Plus 4's
1 Set of Magnacor 8mm plug wires
1 Serpentine belt if not yet replaced
2 Bottles of SeaFoam
60,000 Mile Service
Bleed the brakes
Flush and change the power steering fluid adding one bottle of additive
Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Flush the coolant system
Do an engine flush before changing the oil
Do an induction cleaning
Clean the throttle body
Add fuel additive to full gas tank
Change both of the diffs fluid
Change the t/case oil
Replace the plugs and wires
Replace the air filter
Lube all the drive shaft grease fitting including the 2 slip shafts
Do full inspection of brakes, hoses, bushings etc.
Hopefully I didn't leave anything out.

Take DiscoMike's advice and follow the list. I did and my truck has never been better. More power and pep! Just got back from a 3500 km trip to Eastern Canada/New England and it preformed without a hitch thanks to the fluid change, tune-up etc.

I'm at 60,000km and just did most of this too, in checking I found some things you all migth want to look for. The stock plug wires were in bad shape, cracked caps, etc. The coolant was at a pH of 7. Etc. Now, the location of the engine block coolant drains... WHO THE HELL DESIGNED THIS?!?! Who puts a drain plug INSIDE an engine mount... I mean really, the British are known for estoteric and sometimes nonsensical engineering, but really... put down the beer at work.
